Extraction Help me pick a decarb and insuse machine for 420!

I just put it in a french press and then filter that thru a coffee filter if I want it clearer. I just don't see the need.

That's pretty much all the press is really - A pourable topper/filter for a french press made to fit on the FX. Was just disappointed that the two did not work together. I got the press & sleeve thinking I could do my decarb/infusion/straining with those two pieces and then toss them in the dishwasher. (I have since learned the FX itself is dishwasher safe, but I'm not in a hurry to try that out)

Since they don't work together and I don't have a french press anymore, I end up decarb/infusing without my sleeve and straining with the press direct in the FX. It works fine this way, but I end up having to clean the unit out.

Minimal hassle - it's basically a big cup, but I ultimately wasted some money buying the sleeve + press combo expecting them to simplify cleanup.

I just use a cheap french press. I'd rather do the decarb and infuse in the sleeve with the easy clean up. That's the reason I got the sleeve. LOVE that!

Just bought my wife the Levo II a few months ago, we absolutely love it, she uses it probably 3x week with no issues what so ever. It truly is set it and forget it. I've had magical butter in the past, but in my opinion the Levo II is the way to go.
